Kenyans on Twitter have descended on controversial blogger Robert Alai for his insensitive rant about deceased Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso’s illness.
Alai had Monday afternoon tweeted that Dr Laboso should step aside and stop holding Bomet county hostage with her ill health.
He posted the tweeted as Dr Laboso was fighting for her life in ICU at Nairobi Hospital.
Hours later she was pronounced dead while undergoing treatment for an undisclosed condition.
“Governor Awiti (Homabay) and Joyce Laboso (Bomet) should leave office until they fully recover. The way they hold the respective counties hostage with their illnesses is wrong. It’s like the counties are their personal properties,” Alai had tweeted.

The way they hold the respective counties hostage with their illnesses is wrong. It’s like the counties are their personal properties. Counties don’t care whether they die or live.
